The Link Between Hormones & Skin

November 12, 20252 min read

Hormonal skin struggles are more common than most people realise — especially for women.

Your cycle, pregnancy, postpartum shifts, stress, and perimenopause all affect your skin in deeply noticeable ways:

✔ Breakouts

✔ Dry patches

✔ Redness

✔ Flakiness

✔ Sensitivity

✔ Irritation

✔ Excess oil

It can feel uncontrollable.

But the truth is: your skin is simply responding to hormonal changes.

And tallow can help bring it back into balance.

Sōter Naturals customers are often shocked at how quickly their hormonal skin calms down after switching to a simple, natural routine.

Let’s explore why.

Sōter Naturals Skin Serums

1. Hormones Directly Affect Oil Production & Hydration

When hormones fluctuate, they influence sebum (oil) production.

This makes skin either too oily or too dry.

Tallow helps regulate this because it mirrors skin’s natural oils.

Tallow helps:

✔ Rebalances oil production

✔ Prevents dehydration

✔ Supports the moisture barrier

✔ Reduces overcompensation oiliness

Balanced skin = healthier skin.

2. Hormonal Skin Is Highly Reactive — Tallow Is Non-Irritating

During hormonal shifts, many women experience skin sensitivity.

Tallow is perfect for this because:

  • It does not clog pores

  • It does not trigger reactions

  • It does not contain fragrances

  • It calms redness

  • It reduces irritation

  • It nourishes deeply

This makes it ideal for hormonal breakouts, postpartum sensitivity, and perimenopausal dryness.

3. Tallow Contains Vitamins Essential for Hormonal Skin

Tallow is naturally rich in:

  • Vitamin A: Supports regeneration

  • Vitamin D: Balances skin tone

  • Vitamin E: Repairs & protects

  • Vitamin K: Reduces redness & inflammation

These vitamins are crucial for stabilising hormone-disrupted skin.

4. Tallow Helps Reduce Hormonal Breakouts

Many women fear tallow will clog pores — but it’s actually:

non-comedogenic when formulated correctly.

Tallow is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, meaning it helps reduce:

✔ Hormonal acne

✔ Chin breakouts

✔ Under-the-skin bumps

✔ Cystic spots

✔ Post-breakout irritation


5. Hormonal Skin Loves Simplicity

Complicated routines overwhelm sensitive skin.

Tallow provides true simplicity:

Cleanse → Apply Tallow → Glow

When your skin is stressed, the last thing it needs is a 10-step routine.

Hormonal skin is unpredictable — but it’s not unmanageable.

Tallow offers the perfect balance: soothing, nourishing, barrier-protecting care that stabilises and softens your skin naturally.

If you’re struggling with breakouts, dryness, sensitivity, or redness… your skin might need a simpler, more natural approach.

Support your skin through every hormonal shift.
